The tea party does not have any of the skills, ability or intelligence to run an independent political party and function as one in competitive races around the nation. And then there is the uncomfortable lack of just plain guts given that they have absolutely no desire to do anything but exist as a parasite... lice ... on a larger host and feed off that while doing none of the work themselves.
They would NOT be willing to accept the short term consequences of such a move - a significant decrease in the ability of the right to win elections resulting in more Democratic candidates being elected and the subsequent decrease in right wing power in state legislatures and in the Congress. Their abject hatred and loathing of government and progressive policies bind them in chains to the Republicans and they dare not break those shackles.
